Happily ever after? Actually, you inspired me to go a bit darker this time round. Thanks.

It is indeed a strange story, even scarier than the aunt who recently visited..... Is there a sequel to either

Interesting point, I'd not thought of that. perhaps something in the way of backstory. Thanks for the new idea!

That's a great little story, that is. It's got a great Hammer vibe to it.

And I am dead sure there really are ancient families just like that.

This kept me intrigued! I knew a twist was coming but it was no way the kind of twist you laid out to the audience. I read it in once sitting. I liked how you didn't mince any words on what was to take place. How you described the the other daughter in disgust and disdain made me have a clear mental picture of what Edward was looking at. I would have high tailed it out of the room. lol. Thank you for sending this. I personally look forward to the next one.

Thanks Evelyn. The Hammer comparison is high praise. No doubt there are ancient families whose veneer of modernity hides some fearful secrets.
